Clicking noise with H&R springs

I recently installed H&R springs on my 330i and it looks great! Problem is I get a slight clicking noise when I'm turning the steering wheel. Most noticeable at near to full crank coming out of the driveway or in a parking lot. Anyone else have this issue? Nothing is rubbing that I can tell.

Yes, had this exact issue after having my HR springs installed. Clicking noise on turns.

There is a rubber guard that goes around the springs, it likely slipped down. Those will need to be pulled back up in place. If I remember correctly, the shop did not have to uninstall anything but they did raise the car (maybe removed the front wheels) and corrected the sleeves. Its been 2+ years in silence.

That was something the dealer checked for me. He said the rubber guard was in the right position. With that said I now question whether it really is in the right position. If your clicking sent away after repositioning the guard it makes me think it’s still not in the right spot. Do you know how high up on the coil yours is?

Besides that click noise has anyone had any other issues with the H&R springs?

Clicking noises on turns, possibly the top hat?
